"When you haven't played that much on the court, it's different conditions. Whoever I play now I guess will have played two matches. Might take a little while for me to adjust tomorrow. Need to make sure I'm patient". Good advice for the rest of us perhaps?

Several posters said Andy didn't look right last week - "Motivation's pretty high just now. Freshness could be better. It's not the same probably as it was at the beginning of the year. You seem to pick up a few more niggles here and there. I got sick in Tokyo last week. Hadn't been sick the whole year. Probably your immune system is slightly as well. There are a few things you pick up week to week".

The sickness would explain alot. He looked very tired but that could be down to being sick. Hopefully he is better now. He certainly looked better in his recent interview. That would definitely make Raonic's win a'hollw victory'.

I'm watching Stepanek/Isner at the moment and don't relish Andy/Stepanek in the next round. Dont like Stepanek at all but he could be a problem. Hope Andy beats Dolgopolov - he could have done with playing yesterday for practice.
